On Mothers Day weekend we did Race for the Cure like we do every year. This year was extra special because my cousin Dillon came with us. His mom, my aunt Pennie, is the one we race for. It will be 12 years this September since she passed away from breast cancer at the age of 33, leaving behind her 4 boys. Dillon's girlfriend Kourtney has a grandma who has also battled cancer so she and some of her family came as well. It's always an emotional event, but as we walked through the starting line and the music was playing and Dillon had his arms around my mom and aunt Charli I stood behind them and thought about Pennie and how proud she would be of him and her other boys. We were ALL crying!
Anyway, Tony lost us in the beginning because he went to the bathroom and we didn't find him until the finish line (he had to borrow someone's cell phone to call us)...I was sad he didn't race with us! It was a good day, though!
